Purpose and Description
Purpose
Pepperl+Fuchs Enclosure Protection System’s purpose is to
allow the use of general purpose or non-rated electrical or
electronic devices, with exception to devices which produce
excessive heat, utilize combustible gas, or expose arcing
contacts to the hazardous atmosphere, in Type 4 or 12
enclosures in the place of explosion proof Type 7 enclosures.
Other purposes include heat, moisture and dust contamination
prevention.
Description
Model 1011 is an enclosure pressurization or purging
system that operates on a supply of compressed instrument
air or inert gas. It regulates and monitors pressure within
sealed (protected) enclosures, to prevent combustible dust
accumulation or remove and prevent flammable gas or vapor
accumulations. In Class II areas, the system maintains a “safe”
(1.0") pressure. In Class I areas, the system accomplishes four
air exchanges and maintains a “safe” (0.25") pressure. These
processes reduce the hazardous (classified) area rating within
the enclosure(s), in accordance with the NEC - NFPA 70, Article
500, NFPA 496 and ISA12.4
Important Notes
One (1) permanent file copy and one (1) operations copy of
this Manual must be studied and retained by the operator of
this System. User’s Agents are responsible for transferring this
Manual to the user, prior to start-up.
The contents of this manual have been arranged to allow the
use of this product as a stand-alone device on equipment and
enclosures supplied by the user or its agents. The manual’s
parameters encompass a combination of both National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) requirements and Pepperl+Fuchs
requirements. Pepperl+Fuchs therefore acknowledges the
use of NFPA 496 as a guideline, that we have enhanced
certain NFPA requirements and that additional information
has been compiled to complete this document. The manual is
intended as a complete guide and must be considered, unless
specifically stated otherwise, that all directives contained herein
are Pepperl+Fuchs requirements for safe, practical and efficient
use of this product.
This system is not intended for use to protect enclosures or
devices which contain ignitable concentrations of gases or
vapors. This exclusion generally applies to process or product
analyzing systems equipment.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.

Identifying Your System
This enclosure protection system is offered in various styles.
For proper installation and operation, examine the system
model number nameplate to identify the system style, area
classification, and type, as noted below.
General Information
System Specifications
System dimensions: See Page 8
Shipping weight ( lbs.): 7
Operating temperature range: -20° F - 120° F
Supply pressure range: * 5 - 120 psi max.
Supply requirements: Clean air or inert gas
Safe pressure (CI/CII): 0.25" / 1.0"
Safe pressure flowrate: ** 0.1-3.5 SCFH
System supply fitting: 1/4" tube fitting
Enclosure supply fitting: 1/4" tube fitting
Enclosure reference fitting: 1/4" tube fitting
* With enclosure protection vent - 120 psi maximum
Without enclosure protection ven - 5 psi maximum
In order to comply with the NFPA 496 standard requiring
protection against over pressurization of the protected
enclosure, the installer must install one of the following items
in addition to the enclosure protection system.
a) Install an enclosure protection venon the protected
enclosure.
b) Install a tamperproof regulator upstream of the enclosure
protection system's system supply inlet to pre-regulate
protective gas supply to 5 psi max.
In addition, for small, tightly sealed enclosures, or to
compensate for a fluctuating protective gas supply, it may
be necessary to pre-regulate the protective gas supply to a
constant 5 psi regardless of whether an enclosure protection
ven is installed. This will reduce the amount of "drifting"
that can normally occur when maintaining a "Safe" pressure
inside a protected enclosure. The pre-regulation can be
accomplished by installing a TR-10G tamperproof regulator
accessories or equivalent.

Enclosure & Device Design
Enclosure Design Requirements
1. All windows must be shatterproof and sized as small as
possible.
2. All NFPA 496 required markings must be placed on or near
all enclosure doors and covers.
3. The enclosure must withstand an internal pressure of
ten (10) inches of water without sustaining permanent
deformation and resist all corrosive elements in the
surrounding atmosphere.
4. All lightweight objects in the enclosure, such as paper or
insulation, must be firmly secured.
5. The enclosure should be constructed from materials such as
metal or nonstatic polycarbonate to meet or exceed NEMA
4 or 12 performance requirements, but does not require
third party approval.
6. The installation of obstructions or other barriers that block
or impede the flow of protective gas must be avoided.
7. The creation of air pockets or other areas that trap
flammable gases within the enclosure or devices must be
avoided.
8. The enclosure should be located in an area where impact
hazards are minimal.
9. If the enclosure is nonmetallic and contains equipment that
utilizes or switches power loads greater than 2500 VA, it
must be constructed from substantially noncombustible
materials, such as materials designed to meet or exceed
ANSI/UL94 ratings of 94 V-0 or 94 5V.
Adjacent Enclosures
1. Adjacent enclosures must be protected by one of the
following means:
a) purged or pressurized in series with the protected
enclosure
b) purged or pressurized separately or
c) protected by other means; e.g., explosion proof
enclosures, hermetically sealed devices or intrinsic safe
circuits
2. Adjacent purged or pressurized enclosures must be
designed to meet all construction requirements above.
Total Volume Calculation
1. The total volume of all pressurized enclosures, devices and
wireways must be considered.
2. All enclosure, device, and wireway volumes must be
calculated without consideration of internally consumed
space.
Device Ventilation
1. Enclosed devices within the protected enclosure that do not
exceed 1.22 in3 of free volume do not require ventilation to
the protected enclosure.
2. If the free volume of an internal device exceeds 1.22 in3 it
must be protected by one of the following means:
a) ventilated on the top and bottom sides with 1 in2 of
opening for each 400 in3 of volume within the internal
protected enclosure, at a minimum diameter of 1/4"
b) purged in series with the protected enclosure or be
purged separately or
c) protected by other means; e.g., explosion proof
enclosures, hermetically sealed devices, or intrinsic safe
circuits.
Temperature Limitations
1. The enclosure must have no surface area that exceeds 80
percent of the flammable or ignitable substance’s auto-
ignition temperature.
2. Internal devices that exceed this temperature must be
protected by one of the following manners:
a) The device is enclosed in a chamber that is CULUS
listed as a hermetically sealed device that prohibits the
entrance of a flammable or ignitable substance, and
maintains a surface temperature below temperature
limits.
b) It can be proven by testing that the devices will not ignite
the substance involved.
c) The device is purged in a separate enclosure that bears
an ETW (enclosure temperature warning nameplate).
Devices may be accessed only after power has been
removed and the device has been allowed to cool to
safe temperature, or the area is positively known to be
nonhazardous.

Getting Started
Typical Single Protected Enclosure Connections
HELPFUL HINTS
If flammable gases are lighter than air, the inlet connection
to each enclosure must enter near a bottom corner. The
outlet connection, for an optional enclosure protection
vent or piping to an adjacent protected enclosure, must
exit near an extreme opposite top corner.
If flammable gases are heavier than air, inlet and outlet
connections must be reversed.
In all cases, the most prevalent gas must determine the
location of inlet and outlet connections.
Determining Enclosure Inlet & Outlet Connection Locations
HELPFUL HINTS
To ensure adequate protective gas flow to the protected enclosure(s), all piping and tubing must be fully reamed.
Precautions must be taken to prevent crimping and other damage to protective gas piping and tubing.
When protecting multiple enclosures with a single enclosure protection system, the enclosures must be
connected in series from the smallest to the largest to ensure adequate protective gas flow.

System Mounting
IMPORTANT NOTES
The system should be mounted at EYE LEVEL.
Care must be taken to ensure the system and all protruding
components are clear of all enclosure accesses (doors and
covers) and conduit, pipe, tubing or cable entries.
LH, RH, TM and BM configurations are intended for
mounting adjacent to the protected enclosure.
Determine the mounting configuration for your application
using the diagrams on page 8.
Remove and save the manila envelope (containing the
enclosure warning nameplate) which may be taped to the
System mounting bracket.
Although all systems are factory tested and calibrated, we
strongly suggest a bench test of basic functions prior to
installation.

One (1) EWN is provided with each system, located in the
manila envelope taped to the mounting flange of the system.
Additional EWNs are available from Pepperl+Fuchs.
All EWNs provide labeled spaces allowing the customer to
mark the protected enclosure with: 1) a T Code (temperature
identification number), 2) Class, Group and Division of
surrounding area, and 3) NFPA pressurization Type X, Y or Z,
as may be required by plant and local codes and is required by
NFPA 496.
An ETW (enclosure temperature warning nameplate) must
be located in a prominent position on or near all enclosure
accesses (doors and covers) when the temperature of an
internal component exceeds 80 percent of the ignition
temperature of the flammable vapor, gas or dust involved.
The ETW warns the operator to deenergize all equipment for a
specified length of time, allowing the protected equipment to
cool before opening the protected enclosure. The length of time
required is determined by the customer and can be factory or
field engraved.
All EWNs and ETWs are furnished with an adhesive back, but
should also be riveted or screwed to the protected enclosure.
